He was super light in his mouth with very smooth gaits! He is a total Cadillac to ride. He has a lot more woah than go and is very quiet and mellow. He would be suitable for an advanced beginner (potential hubby horse!) or intermediate rider looking for a laid-back trail or pleasure mount.

Trooper is a 2010 Thoroughbred gelding who was on his way to slaughter before coming into the rescue. He stands approx 16.1hh with a nice build. He is a darling boy who was polite to handle, loaded and unloaded well and just wants to please. He is very quiet, good with the other horses (submissive in a herd), good with his feet, etc. Trooper is in need of some more weight and has quite a few bite marks, but will look great after a bit of TLC! He is otherwise sound and healthy.

He had an accident in pasture resulting in him being over-the-knee, so he never raced, but he is 100% SOUND and his knee hasn't stopped him from doing any pleasure work. His previous owner started him in English gear back in 2011 and had him on the trails a few times.
